SugarPea Designs-Holiday Product Release Day 3

Hello and welcome to Day 3 of the SugarPea Designs Holiday Product Release! Today we are featuring my two favourite sets! I love the boughs and the pine cones and the snowflakes are super delicate!

I love using both traditional and non-traditional colours on cards. This snowflake card will be easy to mass produce. I think I will skip the top layer and just do a single layer card for my other cards. I love that you could use any colour combo! Pink and greens are so pretty together for Christmas!

When I work with boughs and cones, I love adding layers. The new paper pad from the last release called "Spots and Stripes" has the perfect RED paper in it!

I stamped the boughs in a dark green and then stamped again without re-inking the bough...that way I got the nice faded look I wanted.

Here are the products I used below...

Verve's October Mini Release Spotlight Hop

Welcome to Verve's October Mini Release Spotlight Hop! There's something new in the Verve shop today, and we're celebrating with a blog hop. Along the hop you'll see the Divas' first looks at the new Autumn Leaves stamp set and Falling Leaves die set. We're also hosting a little giveaway,so why not join in the fun and hop along with us? Just leave a little shout out in the comments at each stop and you'll be in the prize drawing for the new products. Check out the Verve Blog today for a little more about the new goodies and all the prize info and deadlines.

I was inspired by the leaves and made the card using all three of the leaf sizes! I always love the look of leaves!! And Julee has created some awesome dies to use with them!!! I used Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and Pumpkin Pie as my colours. Combined those with some red gingham paper for the background. I hope it has a festive feel!
